The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

The old nanny was very happy when she knew her identity.

He took Li Qingluo's hand and patted her repeatedly, saying, "Miss, it was hard for me to find you, but I finally found you."

Li Qingluo looked embarrassed: "Mammy, let's go over there quickly?"

When the two were heading to the palace where the Queen Mother lived, the old nanny took the opportunity to introduce herself and said that everyone in the palace called her Aunt Fang.

Li Qingluo also called her affectionately, "Aunt Fang, is my grandmother drunk?"

"She's never lost her composure due to drinking. Why is she doing this?"

Aunt Fang said, "Don't worry, Miss Li. General Xiu Li simply hasn't seen the Empress Dowager in a while. They were chatting and reminiscing about the past, and they drank a few more cups."

Just two extra drinks, that's all?

Li Qingluo had seen how much his grandmother could drink.

Even Prince Su Duan Rongshi couldn't drink more than her.

The reason why my grandmother drank so much was either that the wine was really strong, or that she was so absorbed in it that she forgot everything.

But what surprised Li Qingluo even more was that her grandmother and the Queen Mother were so familiar with each other.

"Miss Li, don't be nervous."

"When the Queen Mother entered the Eastern Palace as the Crown Princess, General Xiu Li was still a child."

"But at that time, your grandmother was already the most unique girl in the entire Jinling City."

"At that time, your grandmother was deeply loved by Emperor Taizu and Empress Dowager Taizu, and they often called your grandmother to the palace to play."

"I heard that your grandmother was active in the palace when she was little, and she often even went up to the rooftops to rob bird nests."

"I often caused trouble, causing your grandmother's parents, the first generation of Duke Pei, great headaches, and they often went to the palace to apologize."

"But in the end, no one really wanted to punish your grandmother."

"Later, as your grandmother grew older, her temperament became much calmer."

"Although she still had a carefree and uninhibited personality, her carefree and generous demeanor really made the entire Jinling shine."

"I still remember that when I entered the Eastern Palace late and was about the same age as your grandmother, Your Majesty was already born in the Eastern Palace."

"Your grandmother once went to the East Palace to hold His Majesty."

"So, the Queen Mother can be said to have grown up watching General Xiu Li."

"The Queen Mother used to say that your grandmother loved wielding swords and spears since she was young. Who would have thought that she actually went to defend her country? She was a perfect role model for women, but unfortunately, she got married and then..."

Aunt Fang smiled and didn't finish her words.

Li Qingluo knew the second half of the sentence in her heart: Marrying the wrong person again?

I don’t know how dazzling my grandmother was back then.

It's a pity that she married into the rotten Li family.

I heard from Aunt Deng that when my grandfather was still a young man, he was indeed the most handsome among all the boys in the entire Jinling City.

At that time, he would blush whenever he saw his grandmother.

He even stuttered when he spoke.

At first, my grandmother just thought he was good-looking.

After all, the two of them were not a good match. The Li family was just a small family, and my grandfather's father was only a captain until his death.

Later, the two went to the battlefield together and experienced many life and death experiences.

Later, before my grandfather even opened his mouth, my grandmother asked him: Are you going to marry me or not?

My grandmother has a straightforward and free-spirited personality, and most men can't resist her direct enthusiasm.

Although the Pei family was initially opposed to this marriage, they could not prevail over the stubborn grandmother.

Later, my grandmother lost miserably.

His punishment was to never see his grandfather again and never forgive him.

pity.

This was nothing but the torture she inflicted on herself due to her inner arrogance and regretful choices.

She knew in her heart that she had been completely defeated and all that was left was her spirit.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the palace where the Queen Mother lived.

Li Qingluo followed Aunt Fang into the palace.

She walked forward without looking around, knelt down and greeted him.

"I, Li Qingluo, pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May your Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years—"

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness, Princess. May Your Highness live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years—"

Princess Xiyue is also here.

Seeing Li Qingluo coming, his eyes couldn't help but darken.

"Grandmother, look at how pretty this girl from the Li family is!"

"As expected, General Xiuli is really good at raising people. In just one year, he has raised this little girl like a fairy."

A kind voice came, "Indeed. I remember that when Xiuxiu was young, she was always tough and unruly, always loving to fight and kill without any rules."

"I don't like the rouge and powder that most girls like."

"Back then, Emperor Taizu wanted to marry you to the Kangwang Palace. You and the Kangwang Prince were a pair of happy enemies."

"Unfortunately, it was snatched away by that kid from the Li family."

"otherwise……"

Madam Pei continued in a panicked voice, "Empress Dowager, it's been decades. Please don't mention it."

The Queen Mother laughed out loud.

"What are you afraid of?"

"The Kang family went to their fiefdom and rarely came back in recent years."

"The Kang family's descendants are not in the court, so no one can hear it."

Mrs. Pei was ashamed.

"The old minister's granddaughter is still here."

The Queen Mother seemed to remember something at this moment: "Yes, yes, yes. Come, lift your head and let me see."

Li Qingluo slowly raised her head and lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly: "He looks like you, and also like that kid from the Li family."

Madam Pei: "Can't you just not mention him?"

The Queen Mother smiled again: "Yes, I have spoiled the fun. How about I drink a glass as punishment?"

Li Qingluo came to Madam Pei and saw that the drinking party was still going on.

He wanted to persuade her to drink, but instead the palace maid beside the Queen Mother came over and filled the wine glass in front of him.

Mrs. Pei knew that her precious child could only tolerate a little alcohol.

He falls down after just one glass.

Thunder can't wake him up.

They looked up and wanted to beg for mercy, but saw the empress dowager staring at them with a smile on her face.

This is the wine given by the Queen Mother, and Li Qingluo has to drink it.

Madam Pei squeezed Li Qingluo's small hand under the table and said, "Drink it. Grandmother is here, so just a small sip will be fine."

Li Qingluo could only bite the bullet and really just took a sip.

The Queen Mother stopped looking at the two of them and turned to talk to Princess Xiyue.

After a while, the Queen Mother said she was tired and asked everyone in the hall to leave.

Li Qingluo stood up with her dizzy head. When she bid farewell to the Queen Mother, she clearly felt a vicious gaze on her, as if he was looking at her unscrupulously.

When he looked up, he saw a deep coldness in the empress dowager's eyes, which had always been kind.

In the blink of an eye, the empress dowager returned to her ordinary and kind appearance as an old lady.

It was as if the glance just now was just an illusion caused by Li Qingluo's dizziness.

With the support of Nanny Zheng, Li Qingluo followed her grandmother out of the hall.

Before the grandfather and grandson left the garden of the Empress Dowager's palace, they ran into Concubine Jing and her two cousins ​​who were coming towards them.

Pei Liuniang, Pei Shiniang.

Li Qingluo and her grandmother knelt to greet her. "Greetings to the noble lady Jing. May the noble lady and her young master be blessed with good health."

Pei Zixuan slowly walked up to Li Qingluo and Old Madam Pei.

She said nothing, but just stared coldly at the old man and the young boy on the ground.

Pei Liuniang's eyes showed a look of satisfaction.

He thought coldly in his heart: Aren't you two grandparents very arrogant? In the small courtyard where we stayed this afternoon, you wanted to trample the entire Pei family under your feet and humiliate them!

When you are in front of a noble lady, don’t you have to kneel down like a dog?

Pei Liuniang fanned the flames as soon as she opened her mouth: "Fifth sister, it's her."

"First, he humiliated my aunt in the courtyard, and then he ignored your order. He doesn't even take you and our entire Pei family seriously."

Old Madam Pei raised her head and looked at Pei Liuniang coldly.

Pei Liuniang couldn't help but shudder.

Pei Zixuan: "Did she say something wrong?"

"I heard that Madam Pei and Miss Li, you two, the grandparents and grandchildren, teamed up today and not only scolded my father and mother, but also started fighting?"

"Madam, is this how you raise your granddaughter?"

"Your Xiuli General's Mansion has such great family traditions and rules!"

"Since that's the case, I will punish you two, grandfather and grandson, by making you kneel here for an hour today as punishment for your serious crime of disrespecting me!"

Li Qingluo slowly raised his head: "My dear lady, are you saying that your Pei family can use your status to humiliate others, and that others must not fight back or retaliate?"

"Or do you, Lady Jing, think that the people around the Empress Dowager are not as noble as your Sixth Sister, so I should disobey the Empress Dowager's order and meet you first, Lady Jing, to show respect?"

"So, in the eyes of the noble lady, the Empress Dowager is not as noble as you."

A hint of panic flashed in Pei Zixuan's eyes.

She had no idea how this matter was related to the Queen Mother.

She first glanced at Pei Liuniang.

Pei Liuniang waved her hands to indicate that this was not the case.

Although Pei Zixuan noticed something was wrong, she felt that it was all just Li Qingluo's sophistry.

This woman was able to survive from their Pei family dungeon and was even involved with Prince Su. How could she be a good person?

Her eyes immediately turned fierce, and she shouted sternly, "What are you talking about? When have I ever been so disobedient and disrespectful to the Empress Dowager as you claim!"

"How dare you slander me? I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"I'm giving you a lecture, and you still dare to use specious arguments and sophistry to suppress me!"

"Someone, go and slap her in the face!"

"Hit hard—"

The nanny behind Pei Zixuan rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward.

The pride in Pei Liuniang and Pei Shiniang's eyes was tinged with excitement.

Li Qingluo stood up first and held his grandmother behind him.

Then he stared into Pei Zixuan's eyes, his eyes like sharp blades stained with frost.

This actually shocked the ruthless Concubine Jing.

However, before Mrs. Pei could finish her sentence, “Stop—”

Another voice shouted from behind: "Lady Jing, you are so arrogant!"

"This is the Queen Mother's palace. You are not allowed to act so recklessly here!"
